ACCENTS IN THE BRITISH ISLES

national standard
No place in the English-speaking world has more dialects than Britain and Ireland. According to some linguists, there are ‘no less than thirteen’ quite distinct dialects in Britain. Ollies pull the number of dialects at forty-two — nine in Scotland, three in Ireland and thirty in England and Wales, but there could be even more. In only six comities in the north of England, seventeen separate pronunciations of the word house have been recorded. It. would be no exaggeration to say that there are greater differences in pronunciation in the north of England between the Rivers Trent and Tweed (200 miles) than in the whole of North America.

SCOTLAND
North of England (Manchester)
In the north of England most people pronounce the ’uh’ sound in some or bus like the ‘oo’ in book. Like people in the London area, they also tend to drop the ‘h’ at the beginning of words. So ‘ее ‘ad soom toon,’ means ‘he had some fun.’
IRELAND
Manchester
Scotland
In Scotland most people pronounce the V strongly, even in words where the English do not pronounce it. ‘I drove my car to the park’ means, ‘I drove my car to the park.’
The Scots also have their own words for many things, so ‘Ochs aye, it’s a bonny wee loch’ means, ‘Oh yes, it’s a pretty little lake.’

1. Summary: Britain and Ireland have many different accents and dialects. Some of them are very different from the national standard, and people may pronounce the same words in different ways.

2. Cartoons a-c: the answers depend on the pictures and are discussed in pairs.

3. Two accents with something in common: the north of England and London accents. In both cases people often drop the h at the beginning of words.

4. What the people are saying:

1. Scottish: The traditional image of my country is that there are lots of castles and ghosts. Some tourists think that all the men wear skirts, but unfortunately they don’t. It’s true that some men sometimes wear kilts and a kilt does look a wee bit like a skirt, but it’s not the same thing.
2. Manchester: Hurry up! Quick! Run, the bus is coming!
3. London: I think the Houses of Parliament is one of the things you ought to visit when you’re here.

7. Sample answers:
